I would love to see this done across London. I see too many little plots of land turned dumping ground or overgrown with weeds just on the way home. And to think it takes years to get an allotment!

I think I’m going to start wearing gloves tomorrow. My hands were frozen this morning as I trekked to work.
Last week had seen the weather turned quite warm for this time of the year. But winter is fast approaching, and at home we have been resisting turning on the heat in spite of some cold spells.

Ok, we’re still renting. And can’t reallly begin to think about installing solar panels at the roof of our flats. But we’ll be owning our own home at some point down the line, and we’d want to make it as green as possible.
